That's the adds board. I think she wants to see what stations just played the song. I think you can do it at yes.com but I have no idea how!

I looked again and can't find that link.. My mac has crashed a few times when I had a bunch of tabs open that I hadn't bookmarked, so I could have lost the link that way..

You can go to yes.com, then type in your station's call letters in the upper left hand corner box, where it says "Search for Channels", click on GO, then click on the station when it shows up and it should show you their playlist. I have heard though that the songs don't always show up there..

What was I thinking as Finn, listening to KiddKraddick "Finnish" language: 'He's trying to emulate some kind of Swedish. Why does he continue to do so for as long ... He thinks its very funny ...' I think the joke was not hit right. Mockery is not the same as jokingly. I'm sorry Adam's behalf, that he must hear it.

I find his tweet interesting mainly because it is a moment in time when a US DJ realizes - or soon will - realize the international impact of Adam. I hope this gets more US DJ's to understand, or get educated about, events going on outside of the USA too. This would really be a win for Adam...

ETA here was his tweet:

Now THIS is a career highlight. I'm getting bitched out by a newspaper in Finland! Can someone plz translate?... fb.me/1so9UOnC2

I'm so glad you said this, butterfly.

I said yesterday I thought the interview was hilarious and I still think so, for the most part.This was the one thing I was a bit uncomfortable with-- and later I thought about it and realized why.

As a person of Asian descent I've endured people doing the sing song "ching chong" to my face and behind my back when I lived on the US Mainland. As a child I was embarrassed and hurt by this, as it forced me to realize I was "different" from everyone else.This was the same thing. Not malicious, I'm sure, but thoughtless and insensitive nonetheless.

I still think overall the interview was a win for Adam, and I believe KK does like Adam a lot, buffoonery aside.

Thanks for all of the congratulations about the Atlanta meet and greet in yesterday's thread! I'm extremely excited. I was lucky enough to win passes for the Jezebel magazine party tomorrow night, too. I know how fortunate I am to be able to see Adam at these two very different events. I can't wait to meet him for the first time. I can already tell it's going to be an out-of-body experience tomorrow, considering my state of mind right now. I'm so glad Mayumi can share the experience with me. She's a big reason for so many of us Adam fans around here getting together to have fun and celebrate his music, and she needs to meet Adam!

This year has already been a bonanza of amazing Adam news. I've been struggling since January to keep pace with these threads. But I cannot keep up. I feel like Lucy at the chocolate factory!

During the past few weeks, life put me even more behind than usual in reading. It seemed to happen at the worst time, and I felt like I was missing EVERYTHING. Then I realized that with all the live performances, incredible music video, interviews, reviews, Queen(!), etc., and one photo more gorgeous than the next, that we've been gifted with, which just keep coming, there is never a good time to be out of pocket. I've held so many unexpressed thoughts as threads whiz right by me. It doesn't help that my slight OCD makes me feel like I have to read all the posts (and that never happens anymore) before I can comment. But thanks to everyone who brings articles, tweets, photos, and other info, and those who do translations and archiving, or create artwork, gifs, downloads, and contribute to discussions and humor, because I know that even if I don't get to read it all until days later, it will be here.

I'll try to return the favor tomorrow and remember what I can about the day.

OK, I'm a little out of the loop. And I totally can't keep up with all the radio promo. The whole band is in Atlanta? Does this mean we could possibly get a plugged in Trespassing or Cuckoo?

OOooooah! I like the way you think! That sounds good to me! If he has the band with him they got to do more than a couple of songs and they will have some 'plugged' in stuff!!! Yay! I love acoustic Adam but I'm ready for some drum and electric guitar!!

GENERAL INFO (by @wildflowrglam):Display is the leading gay magazine here in Switzerland. In my opinion, they're focussing a little bit too much on the gay aspect instead of the music, but since it's a gay mag and not some "omg he's gay, let's cause some weird hype about it!" trash tabloid, I personally think they can be forgiven.On their website and on other pages of the mag which I didn't scan they had some other tiny parts about Adam which aren't on the actual interview pages. I'm gonna translate those first, then post the scans and after that the actual interview.I couldn't restrain from writing some of my own thoughts/notes in the translation, those are written in italic. Also please note that English isn't my native language and I'm not that good at translating. So I hope there aren't any mistakes and it's not too painful to read the translation.

INTERVIEW TRANSLATION:

The paradise bird has landedAdam Lambert, that means glitter, glamour,party, mascara and groupies. One thinks. In the interview with DISPLAY, the glam-singer shows a new side: the one of the loyal loving man who's building a nest with his boyfriend.Adam Lambert is a lot more than a shooting star from a casting show. One knows that at the latest after his nomination for the Grammy Awards and the highly acclaimed performances with the legendary band Queen. Roger Taylor and Brian May would love to engage him as successor of the singing giant Freddie Mercury. But Adam (for now) turned them down even though the performances with them were a lot of fun. First he wants to shine with his second album.In the conversation with DISPLAY the androgynous singer is on his best behavior. Happy, in love and not pretentious at all.

Hello Adam, congrats to your birthday. Or isn't one allowed anymore to wish you a happy birthday because it's the ominous 30th one?

Yes, one may congratulate, thank you very much. 30 might be an ominous number, but for me nothing has changed. I didn't even have time to think about it.

How did you celebrate your birthday?

With a show. I'm in Austria and Germany for promo for my album "Trespassing".

It must be hard to work on your birthday.No, not at all. Singing is what I love doing most after all.

Is at least your boyfriend Sauli Koskinen with you?

No, he's in our shared home in Los Angeles.

Mean! But at least you can comfort yourself with lots of groupies.

Heh, no, not at all. I've arrived in a monogamous relationship that fulfills me. This feels really great. We have a fantastic love live, I'm super happy! When I'm on tour, I can do without infidelity without any difficulty.

Sounds great, congratulatuins. But your love is not THAT perfect either. (note from myself: How dare they assume their love is not perfect, how dare they?!) You both had a rough fight in the gay club DTM in Helsinki just before Christmas.

Of course you address this. The fight was waspishly commented in all blogs. Well, someone who knows nightlife has experienced something like that for sure. One drinks too much, in our case it was vodka, and at some point one gets of unsound mind. A small thing which one doesn't even remember afterwards becomes a huge problem. And then the fight starts... After all we were arrested. On the police station we both got sober really fast and we abruptly realized that everything was a huge stupidity.

So you reconciled?

Yes, thank God. Maybe our love grew even stronger because of that. We celebrated Christmas harmonically. But let's rather talk about music.

Agreed, how would you describe your album?

It reflects my last three years, which were all haywire. I met impressive personalities, experienced turbulent parties, felt confident and grounded. On the other hand there are dark sides which one experiences as gay man. The homophobic hostilities, the bitching we have to hear in the US. There it was a scandal that I kissed a guy at the AMA.In Europe something like that is taken more laid-back. It makes me sad that so many younger and older gays still feel lonely and excluded. And all this just because of the person they love!

How do the up and downs of your life impact your songs?

They reflect this ambivalence. Apart from gay-cruising-tunes and fun dance songs I sing pensive, almost dark songs. Also songs which are about fear.

(note from myself: this is the question were I felt a little SHE, but oh well, we've seen worse things lol)For your album you also worked with the cute singer Bruno Mars. Seriously, how is the gay-factor of Bruno?

Gay-factor? I don't know, I don't think he's gay. But I know that he's a huge talent. It was just great to work with this fantastic musician.

We're totally excited for the result! Are you visiting Switzerland soon?

I don't know yet. This year I'm touring in the US. I have good memories of Switzerland though. We had a great time here and an awesome show in Zürich. Unfortunately, I didn't get to know a lot of your beautiful country. But I know that it's neutral. (note: Switzerland has been politically neutral since like forever, just in case you wonder what kind of neutrality he's talking about.) And this is probably not a bad idea for a small nation.

Now you're flying to LA to your boo. What souvenir are you bringing him?

Myself! Do you think that is enough? *laughs*

Adam Lambert says that his album "Trespassing" is getting finished and will be out in "Maypril".

I love your way of thinking.. but the release of Trespassing the album is still more than a month away so.. I don't know RCA will do this in Atlanta. If they do it .. all the iphone or electronic equipment that can record his performance will not allowed to enter the room. And the radio staffs will be sworn in on the secrecy so there will not be any chances of leaking until that Mapril dates.

I make an Italian sausage and chicken soup with kale and garbanzo beans. Also, sauteed kale with garlic and olive oil... Actually, you can throw it into a lot of different sautes, soups or stews and it tastes great. My family loves it. Have yet to try it juiced.

I blanch the kale , then puréed it with cucumber and green apple. That is my breakfast.

So excited that I won a pass to see Adam at the Hamilton on Monday, courtesy of 94.7 Fresh FM in DC!!!

I have been to many concerts - Gridlock, Fantasy Springs, several GNT shows - but never a meet and greet. Never been within 30 ft of Adam, except once in Denver when I waited at the buses and saw him about 10 ft away. This will be a new experience for me and in a great, relaxed venue.

The Hamilton is a brand new music venue in the downstairs of a restaurant in downtown DC. It is beautifully finished and has tables and bar stools in a tiered configuration with the stage at the bottom. It is too bad that he will only be doing 2 songs, but maybe we can squeeze one more out of him.

I am hoping for a really fun and relaxed interview too because the host will most likely be Tommy McFly, who has interviewed him before at the 9:30 club before a GNT show. Tommy is a fan, and a young, really cool guy - much like Blake in Houston today.

And to top it all off, the event is at 6:30 pm, so I don't even have to make up an imaginary Dr. appt or some other reason to miss work!! There will be two other radio promo's that day - noonish for Mix107.3 at the Gibson Guitar Center, and some other time of the day for Hot99.5 (Toby Knapp, Kane, etc) at the Sierra Mist Natural Lounge - wherever that is - undisclosed time. I am hoping the Fresh94.7 event is the last of the day and he doesn't have to run off somewhere. Although it is feasible that he could go to the airport for a late flight back to LA - there are some leaving as late as 10:00

Anyway - this will be an adventure and so sweet to see him up close and personal. Hopefully lots of other ATOP'ers from the DC area got passes as well!!!!!

schufly.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

maya: mmadamimadamm: So lucky to have you in Adam's fandom. You are the STUPENDOUS (to borrow Dr. Bri's word of praise to GFG).THANK YOU for everything that you do for Adam's fans.Feb 27, 2015 15:22:00 GMT -5

lorraine: Yep, that IHR outfit--you know, the one with the black shirt and the perfectly fitted black pants ,was my all-time favorite, too. I don't need the shirtless pics;I think those are for the guys anyway. Oh, and anytime Adam wears a beanie......Mar 9, 2015 22:33:12 GMT -5

ivaalambert: Ohh some of us ladies like to see shirtless pics too ) Mar 10, 2015 12:06:14 GMT -5

joseywales802: I like his NYE in London outfit the best. Those leather pants with the textured patterns...he should be legally required to wear painted-on leather at all times. But the IHR outfit was great, too. He's got a fantastic body.Mar 14, 2015 11:46:36 GMT -5
